The purpose of this Measurement Guide is to introduce the basic calibration and operation of the VectorStar MS4640A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) System and reduce the time required to become proficient at performing basic measurements. The procedures in this manual assume a working knowledge of, and a familiarity with, vector network analyzers.
Chapter Summary
